The Abyzz AFC400 IPU Aquarium Circulation Pump represents a pinnacle of German engineering, developed by Venotec to satisfy the most rigorous standards of large scale aquatic environments. This high performance system is constructed with a Titanium Grade 2 rotor unit and a sturdy mounting frame paired with carbon fiber components to ensure a long lifetime and total resistance to corrosion. It utilizes specialized laminar flow technology through a three bladed propeller and a coat flow ring to move massive volumes of water at a low output speed. This design creates a softened movement that is ideal for shark tanks, creeks, and professional water features.
This aquarium water flow pump offers a nominal flow of 43,588 GPH and reaches a maximum of 58,117 GPH while maintaining a power consumption range between 4 and 400W. The integrated programmable driver allows for precise adjustments of the bi-directional variable speed from negative 70.0% to 100.0% in 0.1% increments. Users can manage complex waves and random patterns through the Menu Controlled Flow Sequencer. The system includes silicon carbide bearings and a hard metal shaft that benefit from integrated bearing flushing to prevent calcification. Safety is prioritized through a comprehensive suite of sensors that provide dry run warnings and overcurrent protection to prevent hardware damage.
The modular mounting system provides numerous points for stable installation, requiring a minimum submersion depth of 2 feet for optimal operation. Connectivity is handled via an industrial grade IP65 rated motor cable connector and an auxiliary port for third party controllers. The driver is housed in a splashwaterproof casing to withstand humid professional environments while active Power Factor Correction manages the wide range power input. With its silent hydraulics and low maintenance design, this unit provides a natural water movement solution for freshwater and seawater aquaristics. It is a robust choice for any commercial application requiring the power and precision of the Abyzz AFC400 IPU Aquarium Circulation Pump.
